A "Roll-ism" that even he forgot the origin of.

If I was you, I would not worry about it. And I wouldn't cross-post every
single time, either. All of your posts cannot apply to the same three
newsgroups everytime, can they?

Heavy equipment like emotional tractors and bulldozers littered the RBR
stage in what must have been some kind of tragic mistake. I mean, this was
a place for humans to run their emotional equipment on, so maybe an
over-zealous buyer or seller had omitted, added or modified the wrong/right
word in the purchase order. A few people were still sitting in the audience
claiming they had invested some emotion before the tragedy ended the
performance, and now it was still owed them back. The manager (of what, it
wasn't clear) had to be called to try to deal with them. "People are each
others' tools each others' robots," the disgruntled audience members'
self-appointed spokesman told him. "Each person is the only real human and
all the others are machines put here either as helpmates or as cruel jokes
or both." The manager thought about saying "Nooses are never useless" in
this situation, but he knew it would be misunderstood and
counter-productive, though he knew that being misunderstood doesn't always
have to be counterproductive and, in fact,... but that was for another time.
So instead he said, "Uhhh, yes, but I'm sure you'll also agree that the
market is here precisely for this purpose: to create the appearance of
emotion among these non-humans, as an interface to the one, the only true
human, YOU (or ME)." "So the market is about the movement of emotion, not
about the movement or exchange of goods?" the audience member asked,
ingenuously. "Yes," the manager answered, knowingly, "Goods are just the
cover story because people would rather be called materialist [censored] bags than
emotional dish rags -- and, anyway, they don't really exist as external
matter, but only as neural patterns -- patterns of electrical activity --
but the same is true for emotions, so there really IS no difference between
pure heartfelt emotion and the slimiest capitalist widget." The spokesman
nodded his head, the others however were still disgruntled but too
emotionally drained to do anything about it. That's why they wanted their
emotion back. So they'd be able to do something stupid about having lost it
in the first place. And that something, once they finally did get it back
after generations, became well-known and widely-practiced, decades hence,
under the brand name: Emotional Suicide.

Yah, that's appropriate. If anyone asks for the rbr faq, just send this.
